    We usually have a home cooked meal and a nice bottle of wine if him indoors is home. Sadly, on this valentines day he will be on his big grey ship sailing off to somewhere hot and sunny.

    I have sent him 5 raspberry flapjacks, some lollipops and a card.

    I think his money saving was unintentional - my card arrived with "postage underpaid" on it, but the post office decided not to charge us this time.

    My OH works nights, so I will see very little of him on Valentines Day.

    We dont bother with cards, not for DFW reasons, we just never have.

    I dont need a bit of card to know how Mr Spud feels, he shows me every day. Much more important than once a year.

    Sorry if that was a bit yucky
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Mine has got so my nerves so much he can buy his own, so won't cost me a penny!
    Thought the whole idea of Valentines was secret admirers and ? marks in your card. Being a bit humbug sorry, but wouldn't say no to a young bronzed hunk sending me a card!!!
    Why didn't someone kick me up the backside earlier:mad:

    i must admit i found it quite exciting when someone had left some flowers on my doorstep a couple of years ago, i didnt know who they were off. But nothing like that now :o

    I am currently looking at ideas what to do with this steak, nothing too flashy but nice. We cant afford anything posh :p

    We've agreed no presents, but I bought her a pack of love hearts and a posh card...

    We will be taking advantage of Orange Wednesday also, and going to see "Dirty Dancing" as it will be showing in the evening! He he.
